Mr. Chair, committee members, good morning.
My name is Linda Lapointe. I am a respiratory therapist and vice-president of the Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec, commonly known as the FIQ. I am responsible for the workplace health and safety of our healthcare professionals. We represent close to 76,000 nurses, nursing assistants, respiratory therapists and clinical perfusionists working in all healthcare settings in Quebec.
We would like to thank you for inviting us to this study on the Canadian response to the pandemic...
